The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Morris.

Mr. Simpson stated that he was representing Rev. Dumas of the True Church of God with a
congregation of 200 people. Mr. Simpson stated that the intention is to build a 3750
square foot church. Mr. Malone asked if the land was cleared. Mr. Simpson said that
the land had been underbrushed only, no trees were taken out. There was no one else to
speak in favor of or against the proposed conditional use.
Mr. Davidson made motion to approve. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Mr. Malone asked who owns
the property and if the sale was conditioned on approval. Mr. Simpson stated that Mr.

ditioned upon the approval tonight. Seven in favor. Mr. Carli in opposition. Motion

Mr. Dennison made motion to approve the site plan. Mr. Davidson seconded. All in
favor. Motion carried.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for an
office /warehouse /distribution for Southern Bell, located at 132 Commerce Way in a RI -1
zone. Owner /representative: Mr. Robert E. McKee.
Mr. Simmons stated that comments from Staff require 3 additional stop bars and a
painted traffic control island and 10 additional trees to buffer the cable storage area
and adjacent residential area. Chairman Morris asked if there would be a chain -link
fence around the cable storage area. Mr. McKee stated that the surrounding residents
did not want sight proof fencing.
Mr. Malone moved to approve with the addition of 3 stop bars, a painted traffic island
for circulation, and 10 additional trees to buffer the cable storage area and the adja-
cent residential area. Mr. Carli seconded. All in favor. No opposed. Motion
carried.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration of a warehouse addition to R & M
Manufacturing, an automotive machine shop /parts distributor located in a MI -2 zone at
1200 Albright Road. Owner: Lars J. Eriksson; representative: Mr. Robert E. McKee.
Mr. Simmons stated that the Fire Department thinks there needs to be a continuous fire
lane. For the fire lane to be functional it has to impact on part of the existing
right -of -way of Bevier Road. There needs to be a right-of-way use permit granted
before the Planning and Zoning Commission can approve the site plan or that would be a
very strong condition of the approval. The Engineering Technician indicates that he is
not satisfied with the drainage calculations. Mr. McKee stated that the existing fire
lane that is shown on the plan was approved by the City some time ago, the fire lane is
a considerable distance from the building. Mr. McKee stated that he felt it was
somewhat of a penalty set upon to penalized this building because of the approval the
City did on the fire lane some time ago. Mr. McKee stated that there is no additional
space on Mr. Eriksson's property to provide additional right -of -way.
Chairman Morris asked when is that portion of Bevier scheduled to be opened. Mr.
Simmons said that it is not and there are no particular plans to open it. Mr. Simmons
also stated that the Board might be seeing some site plans and development requests in
the not to distant future that could call for the extension of Bevier southward from
Jewett; however, there is nothing that has any official status at this time. Mr.
Dennison asked if Bevier was in a condition that a fire truck could drive over it. Mr.
Simmons said no that it would have to be stabilized; there is an existing building
there and part of it is an existing fire lane, it just doesn't go all the way around.
Chairman Morris asked if the old shed along side of the road would be maintained. Mr.
Eriksson stated that his night watchman keeps things in it. Mr. Carli made motion to
approve the site plan with the condition of approval of the right -of -way use of Bevier
Road by the City Commission, submittal of drainage calculations and stabilization of
the fire lane. Mrs. Roberts seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.

The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for Phase II, the
Sanctuary for Westview Baptist Church, located at 4100 Paola Road in an AD zone.
Owner: Westview Baptist Church; representative: Rev. Roger Maslin.
Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that this is the second phase, they had to cane back because it
has taken a longer period of time than was anticipated. Rev. Maslin stated that there
has been no change from the original site plan that was submitted. Mr. Davidson moved
on approval of the site plan. Mrs. Roberts seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
On the addendum to the agenda was the consideration of a site plan for Discount
Grocers, a convenience retail store located at 1113 -A Sanford Avenue in a GC -2 zone.
Owner /representative: Sanford Gould. Chairman Morris stated that it appears Mr. Gould
has a parking problem. Mr. Gould stated that the site plan is fundamentally the same
as before, a retail operation. Mr. Gould said that Mr. Wells is planning on using 400
square feet of the store with the rest being used for storage. This will be a discount
grocery store plus other items. The groceries will be delivered by a cube van or a
small truck. There being no further discussion Mr. Carli moved for approval on the
condition that utilization of 400 square feet maximum for the retail sales area because
of the four limited customer parking spaces. Mr. Dennison seconded. Seven in favor.
Mr. Davidson opposed. Motion carried.
Mr. Marder stated that a completed draft copy of the entire Comprehensive Plan would be
presented to the Board by 9/17/87. Mr. Carli asked whatever happened about the public
hearing for the church. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that we corrected and readvertised it,
but she has not heard back from the Attorney as yet. Mr. Carli stated that he wanted
the other members of the Board to know that he did receive a couple of phone calls and
the people that did call him stated that it is being operated as a child day care
center.
Mr. Morris asked what has happended relative to information regarding availability of
financial incentives relative to downtown core areas. Mr. Simmons stated that Jay
Malone and he did not have a chance to get together and take any action on this. They
will try to meet before the next meeting and have some information.
